When submitting a meetup, if you create a self post, include in the title either 'Planning' or 'Event' and the link will get special styling. 'Planning' links will appear in green with a pale calendar icon. 'Event' links will appear in bold green with a calendar icon. Any links to a Reddit Gifts Meetup page will also get the 'Event' styling.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up about a health code nightmare experience I had last night.

My husband and I saw the great ratings that Seoul Hot Pot had (92% on Urban Spoon as of 9/7/2013) and were craving Korean, so we decided to give this place a shot.

When my husband went to the restroom, he had a view of the kitchen from the hallway where he saw plates being dropped on the floor, and fresh produce was stocked in the open, uncovered, next to the bathrooms. Uhm... okay.

Our food came out fairly quickly, and after our food came out, not one, not two, but THREE HUGE cockroaches crawled out of the wall next to our table. We immediately alerted the staff and management, who tried to squish the bugs NEXT TO OUR FOOD and when that didn't work, they insisted on reseating us so we could continue our meal. We told them in no uncertain terms that our appetite was gone, that we couldn't trust the kitchen if there were that many cockroaches in the dining room, and that we would be taking our business elsewhere and never returning.

We ended up going to another Korean place elsewhere in Redmond (Hot Stone) and had a much more positive experience, but we wanted to warn anyone else who would be tempted by the high reviews that Seoul Hot Pot has.

EDIT: Thanks for the info on how to report these guys to the Health Dept. I've filed a complaint.

Thanks! I went ahead and filled one out. Maybe I've just been lucky, but that's never happened in any restaurant I've eaten at before! We were almost unsure of how to react up until they tried squishing the bugs right next to our food.
